Silvertone 3071 Colonial stereo
#1

Ok, here is the freebie stereo console I got when I bought the Zenith. This is a full, solid state unit with everything on one chassis. It is from either 1968 or 1969 and is a mid-range model from what I could find out. This was the most dead of the two consoles when I brought it home, but now is the most functioning of the two. I just wish it had dial lights! I didn't see a spot for any when I had the back off! Also, it does have a couple quirks due to the controls being so filthy when I brought it home. Sometimes the left speakers will cut out. There are two fixes for that, wiggling the volume control or just thumping the cabinet with my hand. (Actually, it's doing that less all the time.) The other issue is it seems to only like the plug in the outlet one way. Plug it in wrong and it will eventually start to do a feedback to itself. Oh, all the speakers were also loose when I got this thing and one MIGHT have a bit of a buzz once in a while. Might not be hurt, could actually have some crap down in the speaker. I originally didn't even want this thing, but even my family urged me to get it since it was a free offer. Maybe I'll keep this beast after all and get it freshened up after the Zenith is done.

   
Not the best picture, was taken last minute.

   
A look inside. This stereo claims 150 watts total output, but supposedly only draws 40 watts. Although, that WOULD make it the cheapest stereo console for me to run. Hmmmm... Icon_think  I think I am liking this thing even more and I will check those speakers... Icon_smile

No matter where you go, there you are.
